The last warmth of July light plays on the shoreline across Black Moshannon Bog. I painted this on location right around the Summer Solstice, a time of year that I love because there are enough daylight hours for me to pack both veggie gardening and plein air painting into each day. Nonetheless, this great light moved quickly on that evening, and I had to work fast to capture the colors in the clouds and the trees. But sometimes that’s a good thing – less “fuss-budgeting,” as my Mom would say.
